Haven't played my DG since 9th edition, but these leaks are tempting me to dust them off...

Just stick them on the table, surely the dust adds to the flavour?!

Dust is more of a Thousand Sons thing, but you can just sneeze some of the dust off and you're good to go.

We all known that printed points cost in paper codex isn't the final version, but most cost in this page seems not ridiculous.

Obviously some stuff will be overcosted (absolutely nobody is going to pay for the Icon Bearer) but most of it seems reasonable. The LoV + Blightlords is gonna be a fun combo for sure.

Interesting, you can finally take 3 blightlord terminators as came in the easy build set.

Surly the last word is a typo and should be goo?

I am really, really tempted by the Death Guard stuff.

My current collection is mainly Dark Imperium and Conquest magazine stuff. Despite being mainly ETB type stuff they are some of my favorite models and have been a lot of fun to paint too (the lucky few that have been built)

I missed the plagueburst crawler and terminator issues though so either the combat patrol or the battleforce would be nice additions to my existing collection.

Back in the 90s Nurgle was probably my least favorite of the big four but they are probably my strong favorite for Chaos now by a good way

They even make the Plague Spewer carrier in such a build leave their Bubotic Blade at home.

I will say - restricting Nurglings to one detachment feels wrong. Even in Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned, with its weird army building rules, Champions of all three Chaos Armies of Nurgle, Daemon Legions of Nurgle, and Chaos Renegades of Nurgle could take Nurglings.

Is it the only terminator armored guy with no real melee weapon, in the whole game?

They made daemon princes amazing as well

T12 lone op within 3 of DG infantry giving cover within 6 and can -1 from cost of stats each turn

 

Looking through all leaks I can't get over the fact GW have actually made DG fun and great 

Hard to find anything that is just downright bad everything seems pretty damn good 

The amount of combos is great 

Poxwalker detachment looks crazy especially the stat that lets you allocate all damage to nearby poxwalkers 

Will be great for keeping vehicles alive 

 

They've also massively buff the CSM units as well like helbrutes defilers etc so they have lethals on alot of their weapons with actually decent rules 

After the start of this edition with DG getting absolutely shafted this I actually am happy and looking forward to playing DG

Looks like lots of fun and flavourful detachments. I'm planning to grab the Battleforce box, and then I'm sure I'll grab the new Combat Patrol down the line. Kind of bummed that I would have to go a specific detachment to soup in the Nurgle Daemons I already have, but that Terminator Detachment is calling my name. With Thousand Sons on the horizon, I'm going to have a lot of models to paint for this year's Call to Arms lol!
